Default Marriage Panics

OK I thought I had all this sorted as I'm marrying in February but I've just been sitting reading through Yahoo Answers (BIG MISTAKE) and now I'm panicing. I thought that going for 2 weeks in February would be loads of time to get the papers from the embassy doctor etc but having read Answers someone on there has said that it will take 2 weeks to get the blood results back from a Dr. Can anyone let me know if there is any truth in that cause obviously it'll mess up my plans if I had to wait 2 weeks and theres no way I can stay any longer!

Secondly I was told that as I'm in my late 20's I wouldn't need my fathers consent to get married and now I've read on there that I do. Please tell me this isn't true because theres no way my dad would give it. He's completely against the whole thing!

As you can tell I'm in a right fluster now so all answers will be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping the answers on Yahoo Answers are all wrong but please let me know. Thanks.

I most certainly did not need my fathers consent! Only if you are a minor. As for bloodwork, I never heard of it taking that long! Maybe a doctor somewhere said that hoping for a little extra money to "speed it up"?

Seanita, when I got married we went along to a doctor that my husband new, opposite his house, not sure if it was his doctor though, anyway she took a glucose test - a pin prick on the finger, examined us both, then signed and stamped a letter - and that was it. She did say that she could send blood tests to a hospital, I said it was necessary for our purposes, that would've held us hope, plus I didn't know how long it would take and how much it would cost. You mentioned Embassy Doctor - we used a local doctor - don't know if the rules have changed with regards to that. I can't remember how much we paid, but it wasn't much.

With regards to your age question, there shouldn't be a problem - there is something about the age thing in Tunisia, around 19/20 years old you need to get permission from the parents and a letter I think, so it shouldn't affect you as you're in your late 20's.
